Collo Belt from the Committee of Aggreivances and Courts of
Justice delivers to Mr Speaker the following Report (Viz)

By the Committee of Aggreivances. October 8th 1728

Its humbly offered to this Committee as an Aggreivance that the
Law entituled an Act for the better "Administration of Justice in
Testamentary Affairs granting Administrations, Recovery of Lega-
cies securing filial Portions and Distribution of Intestates Estates
is in Severall Parts defective as in Particular in one Part of that
Law the Justices of the Severall County Courts are required to en-
quire yearly of the Security given by Guardians for Orphans Es-
tates and if there be just Cause that they require new and better
Security and upon refusall to give new and better Security that they
remove the Orphans Estates out of their hands, but by that Law

there's no Power or Directions given the said Justices how they
shall Proceed to enforce their Order when they see Occasion to
remove Orphans Estates.
Wherefore for this Defect and Severall others in the said Law
being your Committee think it worthy for the House to take the
said Law under Consideration.

Signed p Order. N: Hammond Cl. Com.
